Stress analysis of functionally graded open cylindrical shell reinforced by agglomerated carbon nanotubes

摘要: Abstract In this paper, stresses due to bending behavior of functionally graded carbon nanotube-reinforced (FGCNTR) open cylindrical shells subjected mechanical loads is studied. The material properties FGCNTR are assumed be in the thickness direction, and estimated using a two-parameter micromechanics model which Eshelby–Mori–Tanaka approach employed. primary formulation based on linear, small-strain, three-dimensional elasticity theory. addition, analyzed third-order shear deformation theory (TSDT). order discretize governing equations, two-dimensional generalized differential quadrature method (2-D GDQM) longitudinal directions trigonometric functions tangential direction used. effects agglomeration parameters, CNTs volume fraction, distribution through obtained from 3-D compared with those TSDT for different range geometric parameters.
